My attention has been drawn to fallacious comments made by the notoriously dishonest Minister of Information, Alhaji Lai Mohammed, to the effect that the Jonathan administration did not act on time when the Chibok Girls were kidnapped whereas the Buhari government acted promptly when the Dapchi Girls were kidnapped. Speaking at the foundation laying ceremony […]

Listening to the Special Assistant to Governor Udom Emmanuel on Traders’ Matters, Akparawa Idorenyin Raphael on Tuesday on Comfort FM reel out the benefits and incentives the current administration has placed at the doorsteps of traders, I came to terms with why traders in the State are in sizzling courtship with Governor Emmanuel. He has […]

The Eko Convention Centre, Lagos, venue of the meeting was lavishly decorated to impress, and it did impressed. The participants were corporately kitted; men and women alike. All seated in such a manner that could be mistaken for, fresh law graduates being called to the Nigerian Bar or shareholders on Annual General Meeting (AGM). They […]

One of the important issues highlighted by innuendo in Obasanjo’s recent letter to Buhari on the basis of which the Ota General advised him to forego any second term ambition is the issue of his age. Buhari is officially 75 years old. Babangida sought to reinforce Obasanjo’s call for Buhari not to go for a […]

In the last six days, I have gone through traumatic experience when I was declared wanted by the Nigeria Police. By the strength of that unprofessional declaration, I was treated like a common criminal and fugitive until I showed up at the Police Headquarters Abuja to physically present myself. After what the Police termed a […]

It was sometime in December 2017. One of those days I decided to visit the courts to watch proceedings as a way of keeping myself inspired while I waited for an appointment in the vicinity. I walked through the doors and since I could leave at any moment for my appointment, I decided to choose […]

The dust had not properly settled on Obasanjo’s call on Buhari not to seek a second term when Babangida, Nigeria’s only military President, in a statement issued on his behalf by his long-term spokesman Kassim Afegbua, reinforced that message by suggesting that Buhari, as an ‘analogue’ leader, should step aside for younger ‘digital’ leaders to […]

“Nobody should try to remove Buhari in 2019. All Fulanis in Nigeria today our eyes are open. All of us are behind Buhari.We have seen that they want to destroy the Fulani because of Buhari. We would be ready to follow him and fight it”- Alhaji Bello Abdullahi Bodeji, President of Miyetti Allah Cattle Breeders […]

Few can dispute the fact that President Olusegun Obasanjo, the Ebora Owu, was one of those that brought President Muhammadu Buhari to power in 2015. Without Obasanjo’s wholesale and comprehensive endorsement Buhari would have failed woefully at the polls three years ago. Yet, in my view, today the Ebora Owu has absolved himself of this […]

Six years ago, five young Nigerians graduated from Usmanu Danfodio University with a bachelor’s degree in Law and were on the verge of missing admission into the Nigerian Law School due to lack of finances. Over dinner, it was mentioned to the then Speaker of the House of Representatives, Hon Aminu Waziri Tambuwal, of the […]

Since May 2015 when Governor Akinwunmi Ambode took over the mantle of leadership in Lagos, the state, for sure, has never witnessed a better last year. It is the end of 2018 and the state marches towards a new year. The governor knows this and has continued to maintain his passion to leave Lagos far […]

Looking at the way the chimpanzee walks, you will discover without labour that it’s not a happy creature. Comparatively, a peep at the way Nigerians currently spend hours at different petrol stations in search of fuel, one may not wait to be told that Nigerians are mourning the dearth of good leadership in our country. This leadership […]Read More
